RealClearPolitics - Video - Newsweek Editor Evan Thomas: Obama Is "Sort Of God"

Obama is - we are above that now. We're not just parochial, we're not just chauvinistic, we're not just provincial. We stand for something, I mean in a way Obama's standing above the country, above above the world, he's sort of God.

I saw that -- it was pretty bad.

There are nuts and crazies on both sides...

YouTube - The Adoration of Bush?

Honestly, I don't usually get carried away by the gloom and doom fads of the age. Every generation has them. I don't care to be taxed into oblivion. But I will say this. The adoration that Obama elicits is downright scary.

You are comparing a group of religious wacko's to the Editor at Large of Newsweek magazine?

It just goes to show that people are crazy.

No, I'm just saying the crazies are on both sides. And especially when the religious wacko's, almost every single one, voted for Bush.

And Newsweek isn't exactly a bastion of non-biased journalism. I would expect this guy to be an Obama worshipper.

Wackos or maybe wackoes, but not wacko's.

This is from another thread, but it is fitting.

As opposed to almost every single journalist who voted for Obama. Who do you suppose has more influence; religious wacko's or journalistic wacko’s who say that they are unbiased but prove otherwise with their reporting.

I'd say it's equal, considering Bush won twice with the religious vote constituting his base, in spite of the liberal media bias the right likes to bitch about so much.

Ask Bush, Rove and company how much the influence of Robertson, Haggard and Falwell meant to them. One has to wonder if the election would have been closer if Haggard didn't have his hypocritical falling out and Falwell didn't croak.

When it gets to the point you're actually thinking that the man could proclaim 2+2=5 and no small number of people would not only go along with it but believe only someone as enlightened as he could actually pull off math like that then yeah...it's kinda spooky.

You left out this gem from Thomas.

Gordon Peterson: "What do you think, Evan? Are the mainstream media bashing the president unfairly?"

Evan Thomas: "Well, our job is to bash the president, that's what we do almost --"

Peterson: "But unfairly?"

Thomas: "Mmmm -- I think when he rebuffed, I think when he just kissed off the Iraq Study Group, the Baker-Hamilton Commission, there was a sense then that he was decoupling himself from public opinion and Congress and the mainstream media, going his own way. At that moment he lost whatever support he had."
​

Of course there was a different guy in office.

We all know that Obama can't be God simply because Obama is a real person.

That's way more appropriate and much less inflammatory than "beep... beep...".

That, coupled with the economic understanding of low end tooth fairy award recipients, pretty much cements it.
